[Machine] "The key to prayer is purification, and its prohibition is the takbeer, and its declaration is the tasleem. In every two units of prayer, there is a tasleem. And there is no prayer in which the Opening Chapter of the Qur'an (Al-Fatiha) or any other obligation or non-obligation is not recited in it. And when one of you bows, do not slaughter the sacrifice of a donkey, and let him straighten his back. And when he prostrates, let him extend his back, for indeed, a person prostrates on seven prominent points on his forehead, hands, knees, and the tips of his feet. And when he sits, let him raise his right foot and lower his left foot."  

البيهقي:٢٥٥٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أُرَاهُ رَفَعَهُ شَكَّ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ

مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ الطُّهُورُ وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَتَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ وَفِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَسْلِيمَةٌ وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَغَيْرِهَا فَرِيضَةً أَوْ غَيْرَ فَرِيضَةٍ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَدْبَحْ تَدْبِيحَ الْحِمَارِ وَلْيُقِمْ صُلْبَهُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَلْيَمُدَّ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَعْظُمٍ جَبْهَتِهِ وَكَفَّيْهِ وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَصُدُورِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَإِذَا جَلَسَ فَلْيَنْصُبْ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَلْيَخْفِضْ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى
